LeRoy was a fun loving, generous person who never met a stranger. He grew up on the south side of Minneapolis going to school at Howe, Sanford and Roosevelt. He worked at various places in his younger days, settling with a position as a guard for Hennepin County. He absolutely loved his job. He eventually took a medical retirement. His middle years consisted of living in Mpls and Big Lake.  He was a member of Resurrection Lutheran Church. Knowing of his strong faith in Jesus, he is at home with the Lord. 

He is preceded in death by parents, LeRoy and Rondel Nyhlen; and brother, Ricki Nyhlen. 

Survived by son, Andrew Nyhlen (Jenna); daughter, Alyssa Nyhlen; grandchildren, Arianiah and Mason; sister, Julie Balcome (Timothy); many nieces and nephews, uncles and aunts and cousins.
